Olay Regenerist Regenerating Serum Review

Before I tell you what Olay Regenerist Regenerating Serum is — let me tell you what it is not. It is not a fruity-scented gel serum that comes in a jar shaped like a panda and jiggles under your finger. This stuff is served up in an air-tight, totally hygienic, ultra-practical pump. It’s silky and elegant ... but not particularly fun. It’s probably never made you squeal or coo (if those are reactions you’re prone to). You don’t rush to Instagram it. You do, however, keep voting it the best of the best (2017 marks this serum's sixth Readers' Choice win). And here’s why: Olay Regenerist Regenerating Serum makes your skin dewier, and brighter, and a whole lot smoother. (And if looking straight-up younger is something that interests you — yes, it makes that happen, too.)

But don’t take my word for it: “This serum has the same type of peptide for collagen building as far more expensive products,” says dermatologist Heidi Waldorf. It also contains niacinamide, which strengthens the skin's moisture barrier and soothes inflammation, and panthenol, which pulls moisture to the skin. Dermatologists across the country have recommended this serum to me (and every editor at Allure) more times than I can count.

OK, now back to my word: I use Olay Regenerist Regenerating Serum every morning and my skin looks pretty damn good. (Let’s just say I’m about five years older than someone who’s 35.) In addition to all those treatment ingredients, this formula contains silicone, the ultimate immediate gratifier in the world of skin care. The silicone instantly smooths and softens the skin — and makes this a really great primer. It’s not greasy and I swear it soaks in before you’ve reached for your foundation. The scent is slightly woodsy and personally I’m into it. If it’s not your thing, though, there’s also a fragrance-free version.

By far my most favorite product. It keeps my face looking young, smooth and wrinkle free. It's a bit costly but certainly worth the price and it lasts a long time too because you only need a little bit.
